I hate when my partner says "watch out". What else would I be doing? You think I can't see that it's popped up? When they say watch out, I look off the court to see if an out of control bus is about to run us over.
I like when one person is designated as the one to call who’s shot it is. If both communicate it can cause confusion if they both think it’s theirs or yours. Plus you can make the call quicker
I find it easiest if the forehand calls it (the player on the left if both are right-handed). They are going to want to take most middle balls anyway, so their partner can start moving up once they call it. Whoever is calling in, try to call as soon as possible so you can both get to the right position.
With regards to telling the partner to watch out when you pop the ball up and the opponent is about to swing hard right at either of you. Could it be considered to be a verbal hindrance since the ball has traveled to the opponent's side and the opponent is about to strike it?
The exact phrasing of the rules would have this be a hinderance, but referees are allowed discretion when enforcing. If the call is clearly intended to communicate with your partner and not interfere with the opponent, they won't call hinderance. I recommend avoiding yelling/screaming out in these situations to avoid having to argue semantics about the rules in recreational play.
Yes it could be considered that but verbal hindrance is highly subjective. I would recommend calling it while the ball is still on your side. This is possible and the most normal scenario but thank you for the comment!
Excellent instructional video. Please keep it coming. Thank you
Thanks, will do!

That kid at 5:23, who holds a paddle like that? Ewwwww...
Anyway, great tips!♥
Idk that same guy had a really good leave at 5:07! I bet he’s a 5.5 at the least
At the least. He might even be a 6.0

Talking during play is like announcing the score while serving. Unless the comment is brief (out, mine, help, switch) , the action is usually doomed.

Totally agree that the sooner called the better. I try to call as soon as ball is hit.
When on a dinking rally, don't speed up dross court.
